Welcome Back to The Hurdle Rate. Episode 63: The Digital Credit Capital Framework In this week's Hurdle Rate, the crew opens with the latest on digital credit volatility and the broader market backdrop, before digging into $MSTR capital framework and how management is navigating stress in the system.

There’s two different people on the timeline: The one who emotionally reacts to everything claiming others are reacting to the reactions of others reactions VS The one who simply uses math and details contextual framing around what’s happening and why. This one will often humorously and sarcastically parrot the first person without them realizing it MSTR is a fascinating example of human psychology and a blend of time horizon, perspectives, and goals/objectives

WSJ: STRATEGY’S BITCOIN MODEL FACES ‘MATH TRAP’ AS mNAV PREMIUM EVAPORATES Per the Wall Street Journal, Michael Saylor’s Strategy is facing a self-inflicted “math trap” after its key valuation metric, mNAV, briefly fell below 1.0, signaling the market was valuing the company at less than the value of its Bitcoin holdings. The report argues Strategy’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy depended on trading at a premium so it could issue stock to buy more BTC. It also claims mNAV overstates enterprise value by using the par value of debt and preferred stock instead of their lower market prices, meaning the true premium may be even smaller. The WSJ says that if the discount persists, Strategy could eventually be forced to sell Bitcoin to fund buybacks, debt obligations, and preferred dividends. Strategy currently holds roughly 4% of the total Bitcoin supply that will ever exist, making any large‑scale sales significant for the market.

Wait …. I thought $MSTR was in a death spiral? https://t.co/HiU3Mtijk8
